A Playback Theatre performance.In Playback Theatre, the audience is invited to share moments and stories triggered by the theme. Performers will then spontaneously enact them in short dramatic vignettes, using elements of cloth, music, movement, and spoken word.

We are a bunch of improv actors who are bonded by the common love to serve stories and make an impact to our community. We create a non-judgmental space for any voices to be heard. I'm moved by what playback can do for an individual or even making a social change. I believe as actors, we have so much to offer. The honesty found in playback kept me going.

What's playback?Playback theatre is an original form of improvisational theatre in which audience members tell stories from their lives and watch them enacted on the spot. Founded in 1975 by Jonathan Fox, playback theatre is practiced in hundreds of locations and contexts around the world. We are kind of lonely being the only playback group in Singapore but proud to be around for more than ten years.

Impacting lives

Tapestry Playback Theatre interviewed on artBITES

We decide on themes that speaks to us the most. For that two nights we had deep and personal stories shared. As an actor, I carried their stories throughout my playback journey, remembering them. The stories told and memories we leave behind is what makes the world.

"We are all similarly vulnerable in so many ways, we were all stuck in familiar cross roads at different stages of our lives, we were all connected by this thing call life regardless of age, colour, vocation or sexuality. Glad to have heard all the stories and be in that moment with you. Glad to have playback in my life." ~~ Renee Chua, conductor for What's Eating You?
